Give it a while, and then people will start bashing the film - like with DAD (I remember a lot of positive Fan reviews of that film!!!)
I think when all the dust has settled and everyone has had a chance to reflect on Casino Royale, there is a real probability it will dawn on at least some fans that it is not actually as good as they first thought. Of course, there is also a real probability that the opposite will happen. In time, CR will find it's rightful place. I am reasonably confident that it will end up (and remain) in the top half of most fans ranking list.
I agree MNL.I posted something similar myself.
It is interesting reading the views of some commentators in the media. All the other Bonds are getting quite regularly trashed at the moment. I knew it would happen but when the dust has settled we will get a more overall view. Here's a snippet from todays Daily Mail.
' Between Connery and Craig were Roger Moore ( more toff than tough), Timothy Dalton (who should never have exchanged Mr Rochester's frock coat for the immortal dinner jacket) and Pierce Brosnan( who's pointless good looks rendered him more at home serving sangria in a Spanish bar than wrestling baddies) '
I have read several simlar things in recent days and it is really beginning to grate.
Comparisons are inevitable when there is a new Bond in town. Unfortunately, the majority of the media lack any class or any real intelligence. They can't even get basic facts right a lot of the time. And do they understand or care about the meaning of constructive criticism?
Yes, I've seen and read a good deal of trash regarding the previous Bond actors, Sean Connery excepted. It doesn't bother me any more. Maybe it should, but it doesn't.
